CBR250R ABS, Red
My riding experience: MSF course 2 years ago.
Physicality: 5'5", 28"-29" inseam, 135-140 lbs. Tip-toeing on both feet.
Bought this bike today brand new, 0 miles for $5400 OTD. The plan was to slowly start riding in the neighborhood, but it was too intimidating, as I was having trouble starting from a stop (it's been 2 years). Moved the bike back to the side of the house to get some practice.
There was just enough room to go 4mph, but my focus point was trying to get a smooth lift off. I tend to wobble left and right when I get my feet off the ground. I know speed (not enough throttle?) and my body position is a big factor, as my wrist is hurting right now. Also trying to get the clutch and throttle control working in sync.
This was in 100 degree weather, mind you, so I probably got in only 1.5 hours of practice.
Any other tips you guys have besides more practice? Going to a parking lot, instead of practicing by the side of the house?
